Exporting Data From Garmin’s MapSource Program To Google EarthIf you have the MapSource program that comes with many Garmin GPS units or Garmin MapSource data disks you can export Waypoints, Tracks or Routes in the display directly to Google Earth with the View => View In Google Earth command. The data can be imported from a GPS unit, imported from a file (*.gdb, *.gpx, *.mps or *.loc formats supported) or entered manually into the program using its editing tools. Once displayed in Google Earth, you can make a permanent KML file of the data by right-clicking on any of the appropriate data entries in the Places Pane and choosing Save As.

The Wanderlust Worldmap is a community site assembling and improving a worldwide map of roads, points of interests, and contours that can be uploaded to Garmin GPS units using the standard Garmin MapSource software. Full access to all the data requires a 25 GBP registration fee, but you can download a sample dataset for free if you register at the site.
